My Zombies Are Hungry Turns Three Undead Into a City-Eating Horde September 28
My Zombies Are Hungry will invite players to build, modify and expand an undead army when it launches for Windows PC on September 28, 2026.
Developed and published by GiantIce, the darkly comic incremental auto-battler begins on a deliberately small scale. Players initially command only a handful of zombies, but successful raids provide the resources needed to turn that modest group into a city-consuming horde numbering in the hundreds.
The zombies handle the fighting automatically once a raid begins. Player decisions instead revolve around preparing the army, investing recovered resources and deciding how its members should evolve before sending them into the next settlement.
Permanent progression sits at the centre of that structure. Resources carried home from raids can be reinvested into upgrades that continue strengthening the horde throughout the campaign rather than disappearing after each battle.
Growth involves more than simply adding larger numbers to existing units.
Players can create new zombie types by swapping their jaws, arms and legs. Different combinations change how individual members of the army fight, allowing the horde to be adjusted before it is unleashed against increasingly dangerous opposition.
That modular system gives the game a slightly more hands-on approach to army building than its automated battles might initially suggest. The player may not directly control every attack, but the composition and physical construction of the invading force remain important strategic decisions.
Humanity will not remain passive while the undead population grows.
Early raids encounter relatively vulnerable civilians, but the resistance escalates as the campaign progresses. Police eventually give way to heavier responses including tanks and airstrikes, forcing the expanding horde to keep pace with the growing firepower deployed against it.
The steadily increasing scale appears to be part of the joke as much as the challenge. What begins with three hungry zombies can eventually fill streets with hundreds of brightly coloured undead creatures while military hardware attempts to contain the chaos.
Short raids are intended to feed directly back into the permanent progression loop. Players launch an attack, collect whatever resources their zombies manage to secure and then spend those gains on upgrades or additional unit designs before trying again.
Despite the size the horde can eventually reach, My Zombies Are Hungry is not being positioned as an endless commitment.
GiantIce estimates that the complete campaign should take approximately two to four hours. That comparatively compact runtime may suit the escalating premise, allowing the army to grow rapidly without stretching its incremental progression across dozens of hours.
The game’s presentation also avoids treating the zombie outbreak too seriously. Colourful, stylised visuals and dark comedy accompany the destruction, even as the opposition becomes increasingly desperate and the number of creatures on screen continues to climb.
Its villain-protagonist premise consequently looks closer to a destructive sandbox than a conventional survival story. Instead of protecting the final human settlement from an approaching swarm, players are responsible for creating the swarm and ensuring that it remains hungry enough to overwhelm everything placed in its way.
The combination of automatic combat and persistent growth should make the outcome of each raid easy to follow while leaving the meaningful preparation between attacks in the player’s hands.
It also creates an immediately understandable sense of progression. A failed group of poorly assembled zombies can be replaced by increasingly specialised creatures, while a once-manageable outbreak becomes large enough to demand armoured vehicles and attacks from the air.
My Zombies Are Hungry is scheduled to launch for Windows PC through Steam on September 28, 2026.
